This would be really nice for when merging a large number of commits. Often 
I find myself checking the commit number it's up to in my list to see how 
far through it is, seeing a progress bar would be really satisfying.

Assuming this isn't too difficult to setup, it knows the number of commits 
so just segment that for the bar?

Cheers.


Such a progress bar could be very inaccurate:
- There will usually be holes in the revision number sequence, so even if 
merging revisions 1000-1099 there might not be 100 revisions to be merged. 
The progress bar obviously have to have 100 steps but only a few of them 
might actually be in the merge source.
- Each commit can be different in size so even if the number of commits to 
be merged is correct, some might go very fast and some might take a long 
time.
- I'm not sure how easy it is to figure out the number of commits to be 
merged when you merge "all". The code obviously exists but I'm not sure how 
much is exposed in the existing APIs.

The problem reminds me of xkcd 612: https://xkcd.com/612/

I'm not against the idea as such, just asking how useful it would be.

Kind regards,
Daniel
